Natural Hair Dyes for Dark Hair

Does one use any of the four herbs or the first two and cherry tree bark or cloves as the third herb.

Simmer 1/3 cup walnut shells, black tea, cherry tree bark or whole cloves in 2 1/2 cups distilled water in a non-metal pot for 20 minutes. Remove from heat. After the mixture has cooled, strain out the herbs, saving the liquid.

Non-metal pot... Go for glass!
by: Kyley

Hey Marly,

I use a big, heavy duty glass (Pyrex) measuring cup. I heat it in a metal pot that has about an inch of water in it. I love the pouring spout on the pitcher, and using the "double boiler" method keeps the ingredients for scorching.

Hope that helps!

Herbs for Dark Hair
by: Kyley

Hi Teresa, thanks for asking - it's always nice to hear from people!

The idea is to use any one of those ingredients on their own, but in fact I don't see why you couldn't combine them.

You might want to experiment - I'm guessing the only thing that will happen is your hair will go really dark. Not totally sure though, because I have lighter hair and I don't use the darkening herbs. Good luck!
